Mountain ranges, wildlife, fish and timber all are created on a large scale in the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
The Bridger and Teton forests merged in 1973. Together they encompass 3.4 million acres of outstanding mountain ranges, alpine meadows, lakes, trout streams, waterfalls and wilderness.
The Teton Division, established in 1897, borders three sides of Jackson Hole and the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Aspen, Englemann spruce, Douglas fir, alpine fir, whitebark, limber pine and lodgepole pine provide protection for watersheds and wonderful habitat for animals and campers.
Established in 1911 and named for mountain man Jim Bridger, the Bridger Division contains the Wind River Mountains, Bridger Wilderness, Wyoming and Salt River ranges and the entire watershed for Greys River.
Fishing, mountain climbing, hiking and watching elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, black bear and moose are some of the attractions of this spectacular forest.
